Catalog and Brochure Translation
Product catalogs, company brochures, and sales collateral translated by specialist marketing translators and formatted for DTP production in print and digital channels.
Why Catalog and Brochure Translation Needs DTP Integration
Print catalogs and brochures present a unique challenge: translated text expands or contracts relative to the source (French typically runs 15 to 20% longer than English; German up to 30%), and this directly affects the layout. Text overflow breaks the grid, pushes images out of position, and creates reprinting costs if not caught before press. Translation and DTP must be handled as a single workflow.
BeTranslated provides catalog and brochure translation with native DTP integration in InDesign, QuarkXPress, and other publishing formats. We accept InDesign and IDML source files, extract translatable text via XLIFF or XML export, translate in a CAT tool that preserves formatting tags, and return the translated file ready for final proofing. For multilingual editions, we coordinate all language versions against a single deadline.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle InDesign files directly?
Yes. We accept InDesign (.indd and .idml) files and return the translated layout file. Text is extracted via XLIFF to preserve formatting and then re-integrated into the layout after translation.
How do you handle text expansion in German or French catalogs?
We flag significant text expansion during translation and work with your DTP team to adjust layout. For standalone catalog projects we include DTP overflow correction as part of the service.

Yes. We co-ordinate multilingual catalog projects against a single deadline, managing all language versions through a shared translation memory to ensure consistent product terminology.
